330 Sport 'vert advice please!

[ScoobyD]

Just after peoples thoughts on this. Seen a 330 Sport vert. 2002 model '51 plate, topaz blue, beige interior, only 22k on the clock, full BMWSH. Interior looks practically as new. Pretty standard spec other than electric folding mirrors and 6 disc changer. 5 months tax, 10 months MOT. Up privately for £18,995.

I emailed the seller and got some more info. It's currently a lady owner and she's just the second owner. Had it since May 2005. Last service was done at 11445 miles, next one is due in 875 miles. She's not sure on the condition/wear of the tyres and brakes as "being a woman I just take it to the garage for any service and MOT"...!

So anyway I was thinking of maybe going along and taking a look and if it seemed a mint example maybe leaving her with a cheeky offer of say £17,500. Then I could run that for about 12-18 months, hopefully not lose a great amount on it?!

What do people think?! Thanks in advance!

Seems like a good buy but you will lose a fair bit with the new coming. Although, at 17,5k you would think it has lost the biggest proportion of its value and will only lose a couple of thou over the next year or so.

That's what I'm thinking/hoping Dino. Even with the new one coming I just can't see a mint, low mileage 330 Sport 'vert dropping past say £10k over the next couple of years. You'd hope!
